Tank stands bigger than tank, show em off

[cor4eyh]

I'm looking to see some tank stands bigger than the tank itself.

I know the logistics and know it needs 4 corner support.

I recently had my mdf tank stand get wet and swell so I took my tank down and placed everything into a tub and am awaiting building a new stand.

Id like to build a stand bigger than my tank and want to see some inspiration!

I have in wall tank. I built stand a little wider so I could have a shelf

I built mine so the bean animal will be inside the stand underneath

Make sure you measure the doorway to the room the bigger stand is going in[emoji12]

So this in wood would be OK as well? That doesn't have direct support under the tank?

Here is mine, You can look at my build thread to see the framing

The side platforms are plywood with floor tile on them (plus removable)

Mine is 2" steel so I didn't need direct support.

Here is a shot behind the tank so you can see how I have room for hoses etc

Old pictures from when I built it and was first set up

I built this one for my wife's 22 gallon long which is tied into my system. The sump is in the basement so I choose not to put doors on it.
